Opening "Mame"

We have successfully made it through opening night of our production of "Mame", satisfying our audience and experiencing only enough booboisie to make for amusing stories afterward.

I am now happily tucked into bed and relaxing for what feels like the first time all week, for which my feet are grateful.

Unintentionally funniest audience comment of the evening: I play banker Dwight Babcock, with some asperity. Woman says to me after, "So, you got to be the straight man tonight!" I heard a few giggles.

And who knew there were this many costume changes! Well, costumes, at least. I haven't counted yet but I'm thinking that "Kiss Me, Kate!" had more costume changes, but only two costumes; in "Mame" I have a rather simple role, but 5 costumes and 5 changes.
